Finally, high-quality map production software that works.
MAPublisher cartography software seamlessly
integrates over fifty GIS mapping tools into the Adobe Illustrator
environment to help you create maps the way you want, how you
want.
Import the most widely used GIS data formats, including those from
Esri, MapInfo, FME Desktop, AutoCAD, Google and the U.S.
Government. Export data to a wide variety of standard GIS formats
including the ability to export documents to geospatial PDF and
take them mobile with the PDF Maps iOS app. See all MAPublisher
supported formats.
All GIS data attributes and geographic parameters are maintained
and editable. Use MAPublisher tools to create, query, and select
features and attributes.
MAPublisher supports Esri ArcGIS 10 geodatabases and ArcMap
document (MXD) files*. Connect to Personal, File and ArcSDE
geodatabases with ease. Learn more about geodatabase support in
MAPublisher.
MAP Themes
Use MAP Themes to create dot density maps, charts and stylesheets
for visually stunning thematic maps. Use classification methods to
easily create data classes. In addition, create highly customizable
MAP Theme Legends.
Export to PDF Maps App and Upload to PDF Maps
Store
Create map packages from your documents that are compatible with
the PDF Maps app for iOS and Android. Map packages are
pre-processed specifically for the PDF Maps app. A PDF Maps vendor
can upload map packages directly to the PDF Maps Store and have
them for sale very quickly. Export to PDF Maps can be included in a
Adobe Photoshop batch scripts to process and export hundreds of
maps at once.
Geospatial PDF Import & Export
Create Adobe Acrobat PDF files containing coordinate system and
attribute data from any MAPublisher document. Find locations,
measure distances, perimeters and areas, add locations markers and
customize export settings. Also import geospatial PDF and GeoPDF®
documents and automatically assign data to MAPublisher layers.
MAP Web Author
Export Adobe Illustrator documents with GIS data to interactive
HTML5 and Flash maps. Web maps complete with callouts, rollovers,
layers, pan and zoom controls, and with all the underlying GIS
attributes intact. Export maps without any additional coding or
software requirements and embed them to any web page.
Spatial Databases
Spatial Databases is now included as a standard feature. Directly
import feature classes from Esri Personal geodatabase (.mdb), File
geodatabase (.gdb ) and ArcSDE servers. Use SQL queries and spatial
filters to refine import. Basic functionality available for Mac.
ArcGIS 10 geodatabases and ArcMap documents are now supported.
Basic personal and file geodatabase import also available, with
certain limitations.
MAPublisher Panels
MAPublisher panels seamlessly integrate into the user interface and
can be resized, moved, and docked just like native Adobe
Illustrator panels.
MAP Toolbar
improved The MAPublisher Toolbar allows you to easily launch all
the main MAPublisher tools in a single click. Tools are organized
to better suit your cartographic workflow.
MAP Attributes
The attribute table holds map attribute information your vector
line, area or point data. Add and remove columns, edit schemas,
join tables and apply expressions to customize map attributes. Pin
attributes to keep current even if artwork is not selected and
navigate them using recordset navigation tools. A MAP Data Snapshot
panel keeps attributes visible even after data is deselected for
easy comparison. New for MAPublisher 9.4, an image data type that
supports images imported from PDF Maps and exported to Google
Earth.
MAP Locations
Plot MAP Locations anywhere on your maps. They can be used as
annotations to identify map world or map page locations and in
other MAPublisher tools such as Specify Anchors, Area Plotter, Line
Plotter,Point Plotter, and the new Georeferencer.
Georeferencer
Georeference data with the help of MAP Locations. Give spatial
properties to a non-referenced map by establishing a relationship
between page locations in the document (using MAP Page Locations)
and world locations. Use online map services to quickly find world
coordinates to use in georeferencing.
MAP Point Plotter
The ability to place points onto a map is a fundamental part of
cartography. Points can represent the locations of towns and
cities, stores, airports, train stations and more. Instantly plot
centroids and lat/long points onto any projected map in projected
units, decimal degrees, or Degrees Minutes Seconds. Plot addresses
directly on the map.
Find Places
Use Find Places to dynamically search for points of interest and
add them to your map. Works great to quickly create a point dataset
for any project. Searches are based on MapQuest database
results.
Import & Export GIS Data
Import GIS data formats from ArcGIS, MapInfo, FME Desktop, Google
and other industry leading formats. Connect to online map services
to import data. Make vector and attribute edits and export MAP
Views and MAP layers to a variety of GIS data formats. New options
allow the entire document to be exported to a georeferenced image.
New for MAPublisher 9.4, export the document to web tiles in MapBox
and Tile Map Service formats. See all MAPublisher supported
formats.
Geoprocessing
Buffer, join, spline, flip, crop and simplify lines at the click of
a button. Join Areas to dissolve multiple features into a larger
feature and still retain attributes. Use the Area Plotter and Line
Plotter tools to plot coordinates and draw features.
Path Utilities
Use Path Utilities to perform path operations on lines and areas.
Add detail, copy vertices to a point layer, find self intersection
points, remove duplicate points, and convert beziers to polylines.
Convert compounds to groups and create an elevation plot based on
features.
Text Utilities
Text Utilities performs many text actions such as correcting upside
down text, separating multiline text into single line and cropping
text path to text length.
Labeling
Create labels for map objects using values from the MAP Attributes
panel. Use the Label Features tool to add labels to layers
automatically; and MAP Tagger and Contour Tagger Tools to apply
labels individually. Achieve advanced labelling with MAPublisher
LabelPro™. More rules, styles and sophisticated labelling engine
results in more efficient and better placed labels.
Create Knockouts
Create Knockouts automatically generates masks behind text to hide
underlying lines and enhance map readability. Great for contour
labels and road labels.
